Content:
This book examines what observers of foreign policy within the Soviet Union have been saying to each other over the last twenty years. The author shows how phenomena such as nuclear warfare, western prosperity, and the Sino-Soviet split have enforced analysts to diverge from Leninist orthodoxy, giving a surprisingly complex and sophisticated analysis of world politics.
